In 1941, Professor Richard Evan Schultes left Harvard and disappeared into the Amazon for twelve years, becoming the world's leading authority on hallucinogenic plants. Some thirty years later, he sent two prize students to follow in his footsteps. One River is a riveting account of adventure and discovery that intertwines the stories of two generations of explorers connected by their transcendent knowledge of Indian peoples, the visionary realms of the shaman, and the extraordinary psychoactive plants of a forest that once stood immense and inviolable. 538 pages. Eight pages of b/w photos.
